Chardonnay Eola-Amity Hills, Morgen Long 2022

The 2022 Chardonnay Eola-Amity Hills tempts the imagination with a nuanced blend of lime zest, evergreen, mint and green apples. It flows across the palate with silken textures and medium-bodied weight, showing an intensely salty mineral concentration that further enhances its tart orchard fruits. The 2022 renders the palate thoroughly cleansed—squeaky clean—leaving an airy freshness as a lemony concentration slowly fades. This is the last vintage in which this cuvée will include fruit from Seven Hills Vineyard. It was matured in 17% new oak, with the majority of the balance in second-fill barrels. (Drink between 2026-2036)
